For those of us who will be celebrating the holidays right here at home in sunny and rainy Malaysia, what about travelling the globe in a more novel sense? This year Nespresso brings us on a taste journey to Latin America, France and Asia with the Unforgettable Holidays limited edition collection.
Taking the lead in designing the taste experience is Michelin-starred chef Jean Imbert from France, whose projects have also taken him around the world. Most recently, he has been appointed as the Head Chef of Belmond’s Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, the world-renowned luxury train adventure. Taking inspiration from Belmond’s luxurious art of travel, as well as Chef Imbert’s own global experiences, his creations for Nespresso’s Unforgettable Holidays campaign will transport you across the world through coffee.
The Unforgettable Holidays collection introduces three new coffees for both the Original and Vertuo range of capsules. The first is an exceptional coffee blend dubbed the Unforgettable Espresso, combining the aromatic grounds of Arabica from Peru and Costa Rica with bold Robusta beans. The result is a coffee that shines with cereal and woody notes, which can be enjoyed black or as an indulgent latte.
Chef Imbert invites you to the heart of Paris with the Almond Croissant Flavour coffee capsule, which turns the undeniably French pastry into a sippable experience. Flavoured to release almond and buttery pastry notes, this original taste idea from Chef Jean Imbert brings him right back to his childhood – an experience you can share in too with every sip. Best enjoyed in a cappuccino at breakfast or teatime, with an accompanying croissant.
Last but not least is the Peanut and Roasted Sesame Flavour, which is a tribute to Chef Imbert’s gastronomic voyages. Combining notes of toasted sesame, popcorn, and mixed nuts, this flavoured coffee creates a unique tasting profile. With its toasty notes, you’re sure to be warmed right up with a cup of this.
You can experience these three new flavours by purchasing dedicated capsule sleeves, or for more excitement, in the Nespresso Advent Calendar! The Advent Calendar returns this year and features 24 unique coffees behind each door for a month-long festive coffee journey. Discover new varieties every day, including that of Chef Imbert’s coffee creations, as well as revisit old Nespresso favourites as you make your way through the calendar.
On day 25, one final gift awaits, in form of the limited edition Nespresso decorated porcelain mug, which can only be obtained with this year’s Advent Calendar. Available in Original and Vertuo range, this gift is sure to be a hit for every level of coffee drinker – or as a treat for yourself too!
And if you’re already sipping on one of Nespresso’s new coffee flavours, you can take your experience to the next level with exclusive recipes for the season, created to bring out the best experience from Chef Imbert’s coffee flavours. Elevate the Almond Croissant capsule into a gourmet latte or create a tropical mocktail with the Unforgettable Espresso with special recipes, available over on the Nespresso recipes site. Whichever one you choose to make, it’s sure to be a cup of joy.
